[Q] Uninstalling HTC Sence Lock Screen

How do I go about doing this... my wildfire is already root'd with the puzzle ROM... but I want to get rid of the default lock screen for good...
Any help would be appreciated.

Just delete Rosie.apk from /system/app/ and restart phone.

That won't remove the lockscreen, it will remove the Sense launcher.
You could remove HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app, but you'd be left without a lockscreen as there are no others on the phone. Try lockscreen replacement apps on the market

yea,got that, but what seems to happen is the default lockscreen is shown first before the replacement pops up.

Im borrowing your topic a little;
The Lock 2.0 app on the market does not support our screen, right?

I have widget locker but the problem is if I wake it up quickly after it has gone to sleep (and sometime even if I leave it a while) it shows the home and the default lock screen before the wigetlocker lock screen.

sorry noob question, pls teach me how to delete the file in system/apk?
am already flash with wildpuzzle, want to remove original lock screen but can't understand the tuto i found in website. can delete thru this phone or delete from computer?

about lock screen...

I have seen some pic of the HTC lock screen have unlock and silence option..
like the picture below..
is this only work on root phone? or can download from market or install by ourself??

That is standard Froyo lockscreen.
You can try to put it with lockscreen replacement apps (like lockbot)

Correction, that is standard Android's lockscreen. The swiping up/down lockscreen is Sense.

ahh ok thx so i can just go and download lockbot to replace that?? no need to root or anything?

Yes, no need for root access, just install them like a normal app.
Some other lockscreen replacements are lock 2.0 or Simply lockscreen

Bear in mind that it doesn't actually replace your lockscreen. It just gets in the lockscreens' way. It's very clever, and worth a look into. Just bear in mind that it doesn't always work

Changing Wildfire Lock Screen?

Hi guys im new to the forum and, i dont know much around. Could you guys tell me how i could change the lock screen to standard 2.2 Froyo lock screen? I dont want to use the Sense lock screen and i have already tried out lockbot which fails to work miserably.
Thnx Guys ^^

Damn thanks button..., try widget locker, you can also mod it as well if you want to.

Thnx for replying but unfortunately i cant pay for it. Is there anything for free except widget locker and lockbot free?

I'm sure you'll be able to find it on google or on the internet somewhere , and lockbot is crap imo.
Also the widgetlocker website allows you to pay for it via paypal. http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker

I've got default android lock screen by using wildpuzzle + remove htc widgets package.
Just wondering weather to use widget locker or try and mod this one.
Kevin, do you think widget locker will work better without the htc lockscreen?
i shyed away from it in the past because it would show up when screen was locked and unlocked within the 5secs...

Yes it works perfect with the stock android lockscreen, it never shows up after i unlock widget locker.
Just don't forget to enable 5 second root rule just in case.

A lot of thnx for the link and I really appreciate the replies, just one more thing how can i install app to my phone from the computer?

first go to settings -> applications and enable uknown sources....then copy the app to your sd card ...when you do all that use any file manager and go to your sd card and find the app you want to install...then just click on it
use the market app to download a file manager if you dont have one jet
sorry for my english

I've tried the widget locker app, but after the unlocking, annoying animation of flying squares in shades of gray appears. is that normal? how to disable it?

Realy stupid, isn't it I was wondering myself what the hell that was, and when it was raining a saw a very crapy animation of droplets falling on my screen. So the square thing is a weather animation - i think it's supose to tell you that it is cloudy outside
Just look in the setting, you will find an option somewhere where you can choose to show the animation at every screen, show it just when unlocking the home screen or disable it.
Erwin

Why you dont use WidgetLocker Lockscreen v1.2.8.1 ...you can find it on web for free and if you dont I send it to you!

oh so that was the weather animation...thought it was a bug, thnx!

[SOLVED via Root] Secure Lock Screen with Widgets?

Got my Note 3 today and began customizing the settings. When I select "Secure with PIN" it does not give me the option for "with swipe lock". I don't remember whether that option was a stock option or one that got added with my Beans Rom on my Note 2. Either way, I can't figure any way to setup a secure screen lock with pin AND have lock screen widgets!!! I had previously used Widget Locker, but it says it's not compatible with my Note 3. Any ideas?

i dont think that is a factory option

Well, I just did an APK+Data backup of Widget Locker on my Note II and restored it to my Note 3. Problem solved...for now. I was looking forward to getting 4.3 so I didn't have to keep using 3rd party lock screens, though. Oh, well....

I did this as well, but the pull down of notification bar sits "behind" the widget locker icons/widget, etc - sort of semi-transparent - making the pull down almost unusable..not an issue for you?

Almost self defeating isn't it? I love choices, but to have a lockscreen locked with PIN number, and bust still have access to Lockscreen widgets that show info? I can see why stock wouldn't do that.. But I can see more choices as well sir!

No, I didn't have that problem. However, I've since rooted my phone and used Xposed Framework with a couple of modules & Wanam Xposed to get it exactly like I wanted. They allow me to use the stock lock screen with multiple widgets and a PIN with quick PIN entry (no need to hit enter).

[SOLVED]
Root and install Xposed Framework with the following modules: "Maximize Widgets", "Samsung Multiple Widgets", "Enable Camera on Lockscreen" & "Wanam Xposed". In Wanam Xposed, under 'lockscreen', select "enable quick PIN unlock".
Check other settings as desired...but the above settings will give you a secure lock screen with access to the camera and several full screen widgets, as well as quick PIN unlock (no need to hit enter).

I would like to add, for some not superusers (like myself) After installing xposed installer and installing and activating "Maximize Widgets", "Samsung Multiple Widgets", "Enable Camera on Lockscreen" & "Wanam Xposed"...
Under Modules, Click Samsung Multiple Widgets >> Check "Force Camera Widget".
Enjoy

Hello
I have account exchange (pin on lock screen) and i have problem with Samsung Multi Widget....
On lock screen I can move left and I have camera but I can add new widget...when I deleted exchange account I can add new widgets...
It is possible to add widget when I have account exchange??

Gladyscoleman said:
you can install widget locket app from google play.
If some application shown error in downloading then its not a issue. You can install alternate app bro

Yes its possible. Just hold on selected widget and drag your selected widget on main screen or what ever the place you want then unhold it.
your widget has been set.

I just found this post and was able to get my ICE widget on my lockscreen, thanks!
However, I tried the "Force Camera Widget" but didn't care for it. I have unchecked and uninstalled "Maximize Widgets" and "Samsung Multiple Widgets" but I still have the camera widget on my lockscreen. Prior to enabling it I had a screen of shortcuts. I would prefer that but would settle for getting rid of the camera widget. I hope you or someone can help.

Sorry, no idea what that means.
Question: Do I need to uninstall my Exchange account to be able to get things working? The Wanams Exchange hack seems to do nothing. Maybe that's also because I didn't disable Knox? (doing that scares me)

no, youre good with knoxx.... go to your superuser app and clear all auto deny/ time limit.. disable enforce permission, trust system user. app should install and you can reset your settings
if the app still does not work, then its root causing an issue with permissions on the exchange side. , and will take a little work.. i believe what you do with your device is between you and your pocketbook... GNL and VZW should have no business using apps that detect root, other than more $$$$ ..... but hey, its just my opinion ... protect your root, and check files upload, and to verify the repo list can be found here:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposed
latest installer :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
wanam is the UI for the mods.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposed
tested on hotmail.

here's the link to file,again
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mohammadag.multiplewidgets
maybe this applies to you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.good.android.gfe
what it boils down to.... latest version of app, maybe ..
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
thinking you really want this app if youre willing to go through all these links.. however, once the framework is installed its alot easier on your device. and its updated first. once you connect, you can uninstall apps you dont need good luck..

This could be the solution...

Assuming you are not using any security for lock screen..
You can get shortcuts using Menu > Settings > Device > Lock Screen Then..
1* Make sure Multiple Widgets says ON..
2* Click Multiple Widgets (Not the button that says ON/OFF). Then Click Favorite Apps or Camera..
3* Select Favorite Apps.
Hope that helps.

After following everything directed by you, still I could not access camera from lock screen. I use PIN security on my device.
Swiping to right gives me access to add widgets. Cannot add widgets to the lock screen.
Please help me with this!

After the first week or so with lockscreen widgets on other phones, I found them useless. They were limited in information and functionality... and honestly, my muscle memory was to pickup my phone and unlock it. Then if they magnified to the full screen, the area to swipe to unlock got small... I just think for me, they were a waste. Once I am 2 or 3 swipes, or touches in, I can unlock it just as fast.

I hope someone figures out how to add them back. I have an ICE app that I need to have a lock screen widget for.

I always used the message g widget, always quicker than unlocking and going into the messaging app, I also used the app shortcut widget that u swipes to the right for, especially after getting spoiled using cover lockscreen, which I uninstalled due to too many bugs

I know that with root, I can use Xposed framework and download galaxy s5 widget to do it... but what about Note4 without root ?
(P.S. I'm sorry for my English...)

Ice contact lock screen
You can add your ICE contact (phone number etc.) to lockscreen by writing it in to the "owner information" -field, which can be found under lockscreen settings. No need for ICE-app.
